Hi guys. I just installed mint elyssa gnome, and have got a minor problem.i'll probly figure it out by the time somebody posts a solution as im still putting my backup on here, but.....

I have all my backup on cd/dvd's, as soon as i copied them to my install, all my files are locked and i cannotmove or delete them. I don't want to delete them, i know how to do that, but Why the heck are they all locked???and how do i remove the lock on all these files? I tried copying the same backup to my other computer which has Mint Darnya gnome on it, and it didn't have this problem with having the files locked.... so it must be something to do with Elyssa..... a bug maybe? Anyways, How do i remove the lock so i can do what i like with my files......I tried running nautilus as root and changing permisions on the files to read/write..... but for some reason, it changed back and doesn't save it.HELP!!???

Ah, Nevermind. Fixed it.I did the nautilus as root user again, and made sure the permissionswere set to create/delete and read/write permissions and applied it to enclosed folders and it worked silly me.hope that helps somebody else

don't know why my backup shows up as read only on this, and on my other puter, it doesn't have that restriction :s but ahwell. its all good now

strangely enough, i had the same problem with transferring files from one ubuntu hardy box to another ubuntu hardy box and also my mint 5 box. so its probably to do with the permissions from which the files originated?

i'm not sure how it works but it appears to happen to me if i transfer files from a cd or usb flash drive. strange
